Yipes! I had not heard that GABA should not be taken with an AD. I had heard that 5-HTP should not be taken with an AD because of the potential for serotonin syndrome. My doctor actually did not have a problem with me trying amino acid supplementation. Perhaps you can check with your doc at your next appointment (I seem to recall you mentionning that you had an appointment soon). I am actually going to be starting a GABA supplement soon. I have heard that GABA alone may not be effective since it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. It is better, from what I have read, to get a product that combines GABA with niacinimid and possibly inistol to assist the GABA in crossing the blood brain barrier.
